I am researching the Eason family for my husband's cousin.

I have James Abram Eason b. 1790 Georgia d. before Oct. 15, 1850 (not shown on the1850 Census) m. 5-11-1811 Bullock, Georgia Winnie Lewis May b. Georgia
Children:
William Felton, James Andrew, John, Mahalia, Seaborn A., & Pamelia Eason
Then when searching for records for William "Wiley" Felton Eason, is where I start getting extremely confused.
I have found a Seaborn/Seborn A. Eason listed on the 1850 Census in Winnie Lewis May Eason household on ancestry.com

Then on her son, Willaim "Wiley" Eaton's household, I find another Seaborn/Seborn Eason

Also, on the 1850 Census for William Felton Eason-the following children are not listed but are listed in the 1860 census-Nancy Parmelia/Pamelia, Melaly/Mahalia.

Are these children siblings of William "Wiley" Eason or are they actually his children living with their grandmother because their grandfather is deceased?

If, so is there only one Seaborn Eason?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
